http://www.osnews.com/thread?491184In order for Intel to bring other companies on board, they needed to cut all ties with Nokia and make a concession by losing Qt. But if you're throwing out Qt, the value proposition of MeeGo needs to be reconsidered. Without Qt, MeeGo doesn't have the rich developer story â" no APIs, SDK, documentation.

http://www.osnews.com/thread?491190I wonder how hard it'd be to create a GNOME-minishell, like the alternate Plasma workspaces for KDE, but focused on phones. Plus, if they're working with distributions of GNU/Linux, there'll be a lot more pressure to put all the device drivers in the mainline kernel as GPL modules.Thu, 29 Sep 2011 20:40:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (tidux)CommentsTizenhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?491196

http://www.osnews.com/thread?491215Anyone want to explain to me how HP and Nokia, both via maverick CEOs, have manged to all but reduce our mobile OS options to Apple and Windows (again)? Yes, there is Android, but with Microsoft strong-arming hardware makers to pay royalties on Andriod (I mean got God's sake, Microsoft gets royalties but Google doesn't?!) That future it looking bleaker too.

Yes, perfectly outrageous. And it's enough of a bad situation that I simply won't buy a smart phone from any company that signs a deal with Microsoft. I was just getting ready to buy my first Samsung phone - now, I'll look elsewhere.

Software patents are evil. The USA's corrupt politicians are totally owned by big corporations - that is why we have software patents, not because there is any need for them. There was a time when America would wag its finger at banana republics, telling them to clean up their corruption, and I would agree. Nowadays, America still does this, but it is like the pot calling the kettle "black." The USA is on the fast track to becoming the world's biggest banana republic.Edited 2011-09-30 01:38 UTCFri, 30 Sep 2011 01:30:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (ozonehole)CommentsYet another mobile OShttp://www.osnews.com/thread?491242

http://www.osnews.com/thread?491397I was considering buying one of the few netbooks from Asus or Acer that come with MeeGo but this settles the question.

I will most likely go with Asus Transformer or Pad.

Desktop applications should be coded with proper SDKs. I really don't understand this fad of creating desktop applications with HTML5/JavaScript.

As with all fads it will be forgotten in the next two years and Tizen will join WebOS in heaven.Fri, 30 Sep 2011 13:00:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (moondevil)CommentsRE: Meanwhile...http://www.osnews.com/thread?491409

It really is fantastic. However, the community is starting to fracture with no foreseeable future devices to move to and developers leave for greener pastures. So disappointing, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.Fri, 30 Sep 2011 13:42:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (sparkyERTW)CommentsI think this will failhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?491481

This dumb thing was started by Microsoft trying to make web designers(HTML/JS) think they can do "real" programming and "real" apps too.

Right now they are busy with their HTML apps, but I bet they will announce the death of Tizen and the start of a new OS in now more than 2 years from now.Fri, 30 Sep 2011 23:53:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (twitterfire)CommentsRE[2]: Another road to nowherehttp://www.osnews.com/thread?491583

Don't put the blame on Microsoft for this one. They are just following the trend with Windows 8, if that is what you mean.

Nokia had WebWidgets on Symbian, Apple initially only allowed Web based Apps, Psion followed with WebOS and Google is advocating ChromeOS.

All of this happened long before Microsoft had anything to say about it.Sat, 01 Oct 2011 07:35:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (moondevil)CommentsRE[3]: Another road to nowherehttp://www.osnews.com/thread?491600

Well, allow me to say that this trend is a dumb one. You can't match the performance, customization and usability of desktop specific programming languages/toolkits/apis/tools. Can't really compare HTML with C/C++/Java/C#/Delphi. However I think that HTML is suitable for designing UIs and skins, but I think also that pure XML would be more suitable.Sat, 01 Oct 2011 13:06:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (twitterfire)CommentsRE[4]: Another road to nowherehttp://www.osnews.com/thread?491609

http://www.osnews.com/thread?492210Ugh, it seems you are not aware of all the stuff CIA did in "banana republics" to keep them down, destabilised, corrupt, with oppressive regimes, so the US population can happily have their cheap bananas made by impoverished (hence less reliant high pays and such in the first place) people?

Such stuff is happening also now, US recently influenced legislative process in Haiti so that minimal wages won't rise too much, so the profits on Levi's and such would fall few million less, making the shareholders - people in the general population, and/or those working on increasing your savings or retirement funds - will be happy.
